PLow FOR WHEAT NOW.

We have noticed for a number of
years that the most successful wheat
growers in this county pillow and thor
oughly prepare their lands for wheat
during the month of July. Mr.. S.
McRamsey, in a communication to
the STANDARD some time ago on the
culture of Wheat, suggests that we
take the harrow along with the pillow
so as to harrow the ground as 500
as plowed, before the plowed
land hardens by the hot sun. Many
Hickory creek farmers, and in fact
of other parts of the county, prepare
their lands early. They find it pays
to plow in July, or even earlier when
they have time. The present month
SO far has been favorable for blowing,
as the recent rains have softened the
ground and cooled the atmosphere.
We may expect within the next few
years to see marked Improvement
in the quality and quantity of wheat
produced per acre. Less than 10 to
% bushels per acre at present prices
for wheat will not pay the labor and
cost of making. Already there is a
spirit of rivalry as to who can pro-
duce the most wheat per acre. We
are glad to see it so. Whatever the
farmer grows, wheat, cotton, corn or
any other crop, he should do it well.
careless, slipshod farming does not
pay.

companion to prevent him taking
his own life. Thus each had a charge
in the other. Their vigilance was
~unceasing. Each supposed himself
perfectly sane, and this belief was ac-
companied by considerable scorn for
the others weakness of intellect and
accompanying decisions. Gradually
under the influence of this treatment

Harper's Magazine.
1t is the body of the wheel only
which is of paper. The material isa
calendered rye-straw "board" or
thick paper made at the Allen Com
pany Mills at Morris, Illinois. This
is sent to the works in circular
sheets oftwenty-two to forty inches
in diameter. Two men, standing by
a pile of these, rapidly brush over
each sheet an even coating of flour
paste until a dozen are pasted into a
layer. A third man transfers these
layers to a hydraulic press, where a
pressure Of five hundred tons or more
is applied to pile of them, the layers
being kept distinct by the absence of
paste between the outer sheet. After
solidifying under this pressure for
two hours, the twelve-sheet layers
are kept for a week in a drying-room
heated to 1902 F.; several of these
layers are in turn pasted together,
pressed, and dried for a second week,
and still again these disks are pasted,
pressed, and given athird drying of a
whole month. The result is a circu-
lar block, containing from 120 to 100
sheets Ofthe original paper, compress
ed to 81 or A inches thickness, and
Of a solidity, density and weight
suggesting metal rather than fiber,
The paper wheel' is made up of
this disk of compressed paper, sur
rounded by a steel tire, and fitted
with a cast-iron hub, which is bored
for the axle; wrought-iron plates
protect the paper disk on either side,
and all are bolted together by two
circles ofbolts, one set passing through
a fange of the hub, and both through
the paper center and its protecting
plates.
The real service ofthe paper isinin-
terposing a non-vibrating substance
between the axel and the tire, so that
the vibrations, which in some un-
known way re-arrange the atoms OF
metal so that it britles and breaks
after long wear, are prevented. Ma
ture always provides some way OF
wearing things out, whether it be
man, lest he lag superfuous on stage,
or "the everlasting hills" themselves,
but in the case of compressed paper,
art seems to have got ahead of ma.
ture, for it seems not to have worn
out at all. The steel tires Of these
wheels do wear down, and are then
returned in a lathe to smaller diam.
eter; but when they are gone and
are taken off, the paper block ap'
pears again as good as new, and
ready for a new tire. The paper
wheel has the one disadvantage ofcost
but its longer life and greater safety
are in its favor.

TURNIP CROP.

From the success we have had for
several years in growing turnips
we believe it is profitable. But like
all other crops to pay well it must
be properly cultivated and planted.
We say cultivated and planted be-
cause the cultivation must be done
in the thorough preparation of the
land before the seeds are sown.
When this is done in the proper
manner and at the proper time espe-
cially when it is desired to SOW grass
seed on the same ground at same
time, the crop will generally pay
well. They may be grown for 10
cents per bushel or even less, when
sown on land prepared for grass.
Our plan is to prepare one, two, three
GA more acres all that we cal make
rich with barn yard manure or Home
stead fertilizer and thoroughly pillow
and harrow SO as to be ready to sow
from the 25th of July to the 10th of
August. When ready we sow about
Z to l pound of seed per acre. After
sowing both turnip and grass seeds
as evenly as possible we roll, and for
a number of years we have not failed
to make turnips. Put on plenty of
grass seed but don't SOW turnips
too thick. We would prefer to have
them too thin than too thick; when
sown thinly the turnips grow large
and we believe produce more bushels.
Be sure not to SOW too thick. We
usually SOW a mixture of Landreths,
White Flat Dutch, Purple Top and
POmeranean Globe. We usually Sc
lect poor up land, too poor to pro-
duce well, and make the same good
with barn yard manure as far as it
will 60 and then use Homestead,
about25Oor300lbs of the latter peracre.
So far our turnip crop has not failed
to more than pay labor and expense
of fertilizers and w,6 have usually left
aIgood grass crop and improved land

road. ,

EDITOR STANDARD.-Would it not
be advisable to make a survey of the
railroad route from Cookeville, in
Putnam county, through McMinn-
vile, Viola, and Winchester, to
Huntsville, Ala, or down Flint river
to Gunter's landing. Would not this
make the shortest, cheapest, and best
route from Somerset, KY, to the
Alabama Great Southern road at
Alfalfa, to be continued thence to
Admission, and on South to the At
lantic? Would not the difference in
cost of the road on the McMinnville
route be greater than the difference
CT subscription in favor of the Fay
etteville route? 1t seems that Lin
coin county is by no means unan-
imous for the road. Why then not
let other counties have a chance ?
There is a feasible route from Cooke
vile down the Buffalo Valley to the
mouth of Caney Fork, and thence up
the Caney Fork to a point near the
Falls, and thence by McMinnville as
above indicated.

Canned fruits are nearly as good
during the winter, if properly put up,
as when fresh, and the expense and
trouble of putting them is not great,
More money is usually spent for
prunes and other dried fruit during
the winter in families where fruit is
not put up, than it would cost to pur-
chase jars and sugar to prepare a sup
ply at home.

WE publish in another column a
communication touching theproposed
Cincinnati and Birmingham railroad,
in which the writer puts some very
pertinent questions. The article was
written by a gentleman who is famil-
lar with the various prospective
routes for this road, and knowing the
country, he cannot conclude other
wise than that the McMinnville is
the natural route for this road, being
shorter, cheaper, and more easily
built. For freight resources the Nc
Minnville route is not surpassed, if
equaled, by any of the other routes,
and we believe the people along this
route will aid to the full extent of
their ability in the construction of the
road. But the people need to be en-
couraged as well as the railroad needs
their support. Whenever the pro-
mOters Ofthe Cincinnati and Birming-
ham assure the people of this section
that the McMinnville route will be
selected for the road if the survey
shows it to be the best, shortest, and
cheapest route, then they will have
the survey made. They will not go

a survey made just for fun. When

commit suicide. In addition each
possessed a special delusion, one to
the effect that he was a COW, the 9TH
er that his head was an iron ball, and
was to be rolled along the floor. They
carried these beliefs into action, one
striking his head against the padded
walls of his cell, the other rolling his
head, and of course his body with it
along the floor. The two patients
were placed together, and each was
